My mother pisses me off. If she's not neurotic, I don't know what is. She can't have any fun at all. She barks out orders constantly. She works herself into sickness, and, when she's on the medicine and still feeling bad, she goes back to work! If there are just a few dishes on the sink, and we are running late, she will stop us in whatever state of leaving we are in and order us to finish the dishes.She is incapable of holding on to things, either. She just gave away her wedding dress and commands us to throw away things that have meaning to us. It's authoritarian at my house. I can't stand it.
